I meant a workstation OS. Or any Linux OS that's not locked to a corporate account and probably filled with spyware.

Yes, though I have not tried to utilize this:

I don't even understand the first sentence of these instructions. "Mount the device" followed by a bunch of seemingly random letters and characters. Mount it on what? What do I do with these?

These instructions require a very basic understanding of the Linux command line and file system. As does installing a Linux OS without a GUI helper.
